I was hoping to do the entire trail since it was flat but was held up by lots of mud, every thirty yards or so. I made it to Point of Rocks, Maryland but with a flat tire. I hope to do the rest during a dry time of year. Later sections near Antietam were closed for a couple of days due to flooding. I saw deer, foxes and herons.

The park follows the route of the canal for around 180 miles. It is trying to educate people about water travel and transport along the Potomac back in the 19th century into the early 20th. They have a number of activity centers where you can see the locks and boats. There are boat tours during the year.
The main visitor center is at Great Falls Tavern.

Unfortunately the DC location was closed for the 2017 season because of repairs being done to the whole canalway. The visitor center wasn't even open to allow visitors to at least get passport stamps.

Este parque é histórico, já que este canal já foi estratégico para a economia da cidade por muitos anos! Mas ele é pequeno e está mal conservado. A grama estava "esburacada", as flores mortas e o o canal seco!
Li que ele é bastante querido pelos habitantes do bairro, mas infelizmente não percebi qualquer atração que mereça atrair os turistas!
Obs.: a famosa embarcação "The Georgetown" está caindo aos pedaços e não tem qualquer função nos períodos de seca do canal!

I have done this hike many times but yesterday was amazing and a new experience! This excellent section of the C&O Canal is outside of DC and in Maryland with plenty of wildlife viewing! This is a very popular hike, run, boat and bike for hundreds of outdoor enthusiasts with spectacular views of the Potomac River. Parking at the lots across from Old Anglers Inn is very difficult unless you arrive at 8 AM! By 9AM on a nice weekend, the lots are full and cars spill out onto the roadside where tickets can be issued. If you drive up the hill a bit further west, there is a neighborhood on the right where you can park. The hike along the "Tow Path" follows the canal where barges previously traveled between locks. There is also a parallel pathway through the woods a bit further up the hill that can be used a loop hike. The canal's water is perfect habitat for two types of turtles, a few species of fish, plenty of birds feeding on fish, small mammals and much more! Be sure to bring a camera and binoculars! Along the path near Lock 16 is Great Falls Overlook that is accessed by a wooden walk way to the viewing platform. Stay on the trail, off trail walking is not permitted. Further to Lock 18 is where you come to Great Falls Tavern and the historic barge being towed by mules by people in period dress. Fun for the kids and old alike! You can also access this location by car from the pay entrance to Great Falls Park on the Maryland side of the Potomac River, take River Road. Take water, picnic lunch, bug spray and sun screen. You can walk as far as you want, the canal tow path is 184.5 miles long from the heart of Georgetown in Washington DC to Cumberland Maryland. This can be done on a mountain bike as well. A popular off canal hike along this section of the towpath is Billy Goat Trail Section "A". This is a difficult and strenuous trail to hike and not for everyone! Be careful and don't get hurt as it is a big deal to get help! Another trail to walk is the Olmsted Island Trail.

Un luogo incastonato in una delle zone più CHIC di D.C. - Georgetown - per passeggiare in santa pace e imparare qualcosa. Tardivamente - da noi in Italia erano già avanzatissimi nel 1500 con l'invenzione delle CHIUSE (Leonardo) etc. - però con la solita maestosità e impegno gli Stati Uniti costruirono una rete di canali ad uso LOGISTICO commerciale. Battuti dopo pochissimo tempo dalle FERROVIE...

It is a historical park because in the old days, the Canal was used to transport goods and people from various places in Maryland to Georgetown, in Washington, DC. Note that there are several attractions located along this long Canal (up to Cumberland, in Western Maryland).
Jogging, walking. and biking are some of the activities one can do at this Park. Other attractions near by include Georgetown neighborhood: shops, restaurants, museum, gardens, and Potomac River.
Tips: Visit the other park related to this Historical Park that is located in Potomac, Maryland. Ride a boat pulled by horses, walk, jog, ride your bike, hike, admire the water falls, etc. - all these can be done at this other location. TripAdvisor calls this attraction = Great Falls Tavern Visitor Center. Its other name is the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal National Historic Park.

Rode the entire Towpath. Great trail. Lots of history and scenery along the way. Great Falls is a must see. Paw Paw tunnel is amazing.

A una cuadra de mi hotel yendo para el Washington Waterfront, se cruza un puente sobre el canal de Chesapeake y Ohio. Se oye cantar los pàjaros y es un remanso en medio de la gran ciudad - si bien Georgetown es un barrio muy tranquilo. Caminando por la ribera pueden verse antiguas construcciones que datan de, tal vez, 1850 o algo asì. Luego vi un cartel que indica que se trata de un parque nacional històrico y, buscando informaciòn, el canal resultò ser una vìa de comunicaciòn y transporte muy importante para las comunidades asentadas a lo largo del rìo Potomac en aquellas èpocas.
Se puede caminar y andar en bicicleta, hay algunos negocios que han puesto algunas mesitas para poder comer algo y disfrutar de la tranquilidad del lugar, he visto personas haciendo picnic en su apacible paisaje.
Pude ver tambièn un viejo barco anclado que seguramente encierra muchas historias que uno puede imaginar mientras se toma un momento para sì.
